For hitherto unimagined dimensions of driving dynamics up to the limits. Full of state-of-the-art technologies that make the everyday business routine safer and more comfortable. The innovative all-wheel drive system M xDrive of the powerful all-new BMW M5 with its 600 hp (441 kW) engine turns the driver into the self-assured pilot of a high-performance sports saloon with unbelievable power, precision and agility – pure M driving pleasure on a new level.

HIGH-PERFORMANCE M TWINPOWER TURBO PETROL ENGINE.

The 625 hp high performance engine of the BMW M5 Competition.

With 460 kW (625 hp) and a maximum torque of 750 Nm, the M TwinPower Turbo 8-cylinder petrol engine of the BMW M5 Competition leaves no doubts about its performance. The high-revving V8 bi-turbo engine has a high-precision injection system and fully-variable valve control (Valvetronic) as well as two TwinScroll turbochargers with variable turbine geometry, which are located above a cylinder bench exhaust gas manifold. With a thrilling roar, the engine consistently unleashes its performance right up to the high-speed regions, delivering an adrenalin-laden driving experience both on the road and on the racetrack. Its impressive direct responsiveness and high torque ensure that the slightest pressure on the accelerator generates a vehement thrust and pulling force, even starting at idling speed.

The intelligent all-wheel drive for best traction and stability.

Maximum driving dynamics on every road, in all conditions. The new M xDrive with Active M Differential permits an even more intensive experience of the outstanding performance of the BMW M5. Using a central intelligent control unit, the innovative system combines the agility and precision of the standard drive with the smoothness and traction of the all-wheel drive. Ambitious drivers can configure M xDrive to their needs whenever they wish – all the way to the pure unadulterated rear-wheel drive.
